[ OPEN ]

[katsudonfatale]

WHO: Yuuri and anybody who signed up for Zumba! (it's okay to handwave/offscreen that your character signed up!)
WHERE: Dance!!! Studio
WHEN: Backdated to Saturday morning on the 18th
WHAT: ZUMBA!!!
WARNINGS: None, but will update if necessary



The class will start with Yuuri giving a short introduction on Zumba, what the format of the class will be like, and letting everyone briefly introduce themselves (tell us your name and something about you we should know). After that comes the warm-up and then the real fun starts! Music will be playing loud, and everyone will be moving a lot, but that doesn't mean conversations can't happen (it's just not a very smart choice). Also, Yuuri will be demonstrating both low and high impact versions of the same steps so everyone can work at their own pace. If you get tired, it's totally okay to take a break or just stay in place marching! This is a no-judgment zone.

Since this is the first class, the steps will be easy to follow, so everyone can start getting the hang of things little by little.

Overall there will be around 10-12 songs, including both warm-up and cool-down (and alternating with high and low intensity). There'll also be lots of clapping and cheering after every song and at the end of the class.

tl;dr: It's going to be fun, noisy, and high energy. This is meant as a general Zumba mingle, so feel free to have prompts at any point before, during, or even after the class.

He said you were my master but I knew you were my coach.

[ Said all very very seriously. ]

[viktorymaker]

[ This is a very serious conversation! ]

The man I was talking to was my coach too. And I said he'd been the best coach. He was an old man, though. Definitely not my Master. What you're talking about is much more exciting.

[katsudonfatale]

[ Even while moderately drunk, Yuuri has enough shame to pretend to ignore that second part. ]

Y-Your coach?

What kind of coach?

[viktorymaker]

[ He wouldn't expect anything less from you! Or at least he wouldn't if he could bother having expectations from this conversation. As it is, he's just enjoying himself-- His expectations don't matter even to him. ]

I don't know. I said that and then he said I could never go back if I left. But I didn't pay attention to him, because I knew I had to do it.

[ Look at this person say this without a hint of sarcasm. Dramatic is his middle name. ]

[katsudonfatale]

[ Yuuri is taking this completely seriously. ]

Hmm...

Must have been something really important, then...

[ What are they even talking about anymore??? ]

[viktorymaker]

[ I doubt either of them knows, but isn't this how conversations work? Either way, they're both on the same wavelength right now. Wine, bringing people together since ????. ]

I'm sure it was. But I don't know what to make of it, so I've been ignoring it.

[katsudonfatale]

Mm, I know what you mean...

[viktorymaker]

[ Pouring the last of the wine! Here, you have some more too, Yuuri. ]

Do you know what kind of coach I was? Did I choreograph anything for you?

[katsudonfatale]

[ Thank you, he will. Also he shakes his head. ]

I don't know... I don't remember...

[viktorymaker]

[ He nods, setting the bottle back on the table just a little too hard. Whoops. ]

I wonder if I'll remember something about that too, or if this is all random. What do you think, Yuuri?

[katsudonfatale]

To be honest I've been doing my best not to think about it.

[viktorymaker]

It is surreal. As private investigators, we should be all over this, and yet...

[ He lifts up his glass to look at it. ]

Well, things will have to make sense eventually. I still think waiting and keeping our eyes open is the best we can do.

[katsudonfatale]

Waiting for what, though? How are we supposed to look into something we can't even understand?

[ He sounds a little frustrated, almost pouty. ]

[viktorymaker]

. . .


Hmm.

I guess I'm thinking more as a spy than a private investigator...

[ Please excuse him while he takes a sip that is actually more than a sip and he practically downed it all. Definitely not the way wine is supposed to be drunk! ]

[katsudonfatale]

[ Good thing Yuuri is too drunk to question that or judge you! ]

Haha, that'd help, wouldn't it? I mean, if we were actual spies. But even so I suspect it wouldn't be as simple as in movies.

[viktorymaker]

[ Viktor pauses, like he's confused for a second.

Then he laughs, decidedly drinks the rest of his wine in one gulp, and leaves the glass on the table to the side. Then he leans on the table lazily, with his arms and half his torso all but resting on it. He looks up at Yuuri from there. ]

Right. Reality isn't like that.

[katsudonfatale]

Mmmm...

[ Seeing Viktor done with his wine already makes him feel like he should catch up.

Because drunk logic.

So he takes a bigger sip too. ]

Then again, reality shouldn't be like this either.

[ He sighs and looks up at the ceiling, as if it somehow held the answer to all this. ]

[viktorymaker]

Mmmhmm. And I haven't even told you about the beads.

[katsudonfatale]

The beads?

[ Shifts again to look at him. ]

[viktorymaker]

[ He fumbles a bit, but he manages to take out one of those Retrospec strands of beads from the Parade! It's purple now. He leaves it on the table. ]

It changes colors for some reason, and I can't get rid of it. It always reappears in my pocket.

[katsudonfatale]

Oh, from the parade, right?

Someone that day showed them to me, he made a magic trick out of it, but I could never figure out how he kept making them reappear in his pocket.

... Now that I think of it, Anya was wearing them too.

[viktorymaker]

If it's a magic trick, it's Retrospec magic. Magical apps, magical bead strands...

[ He puts it back into his pocket. He doesn't want to think about this too much. ]

Out of all the options, that one has to be my favorite.

[katsudonfatale]

Magic?

[viktorymaker]

Wouldn't it be nice?

[katsudonfatale]

Magic isn't real!
